How to initialize cookie in WebClient

Question

In this question's most voted answer there is this line :

cookieJar.Add(new Cookie("my_cookie", "cookie_value", "/", "mysite"));

In this line, there are "my_cookie", cookie_value and "mysite" fields. I don't know how to fill these lines. Can you tell me how to fill those with an example? Thanks in advance.

`cookie_value` is the value that will be stored in the client — Phiter, Dec 09 '16 at 14:53
if you're using .net4.5 I'd recommend to use `HttpClient` instead — esiprogrammer, Dec 09 '16 at 14:59
Most of the times, you don't have to set cookies yourself, you just send back the cookies the server sent you. Otherwise, well, you're supposed to know what you must sent back, the server developer should basically tell you. — Simon Mourier, Dec 12 '16 at 07:18

Try this:

HttpCookie _cookie = new HttpCookie("Department"); // Create and give name
_cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);       // expries in one month
_cookie.Value = "Dep1";                          // set value
HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(_cookie);      // add cookie to the context
